Hello all!
A young girl just walked in with a broken sternum - apparently near the xiphoid. Injured a few days ago and pain is almost gone but a Doc rx'd a pectus carinatum brace - I don't think this is the appropriate brace as I don't feel she need pressure, just protection.
Anyone have any experience or recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
